My Story

Hi, I’m Kelly Calkins, a Board Certified practitioner in Holistic Nutrition.

I’m glad you’re here. You’re likely here because you need support and guidance to reach your health and wellness goals. You’re in the right place, even if you have tried things before and they have yet to work.

I get it because I’ve been there. 

I struggled with my own health for over 12 years. In truth, some of my health issues started in childhood. I knew something was off with my body in my early 20s. My energy levels would fluctuate greatly. I would have bouts of brain fog and memory issues, wake up unrefreshed, and slowly gain weight.

In that season, I had debilitating fatigue. I had to opt out of functions with family and friends because I didn’t have the energy to go. Or if I tried to push through, I would be wiped out for the next few days.

My sleep was not restorative or restful. 

I would toss and turn all night long and feel like I was getting my deepest sleep right as it was time to get up. I would get out of bed completely exhausted and brittle, not knowing how to get through the day and everything it held for me to do.

I was slowly gaining weight regardless of how little or clean I ate. Even exercising 5-6 days a week didn’t help. I felt swollen and puffy in my own skin. 

I often ran a low-grade fever at night, even though I wasn’t sick or coming down with anything. I remember my muscles and joints aching so much that I could not get comfortable.

I went to the doctor over a dozen times for this throughout my 20s. 

Each time I was told that everything looked good, my labs looked good, and I was probably just depressed. I knew I wasn’t depressed….I was frustrated because nobody could understand why I was experiencing what I was experiencing.

In my early 30s, I was diagnosed with 6 different autoimmune diseases: celiac, Hashimoto’s, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, and plaque psoriasis. 

I felt overwhelmed and exhausted and had very little quality of life. I even had to go on FMLA leave because I was too weak and sore to get out of bed. I vividly remember my husband helping me from the bed to the couch on so many days so I could lie down and try to watch our kids while he was at work.

 I was miserable. 

I knew something was wrong for a decade, but nobody could give me answers. As odd as it sounds, being diagnosed was actually a relief. The hardest thing about invisible illness is that you look fine but aren’t.

I finally knew that I was right, something was wrong, and I wasn’t crazy. 

The next part of my journey is even more frustrating than the first. I went to specialist after specialist, trying to feel better and recover some of my quality of life. I had a countertop full of medications, they kept trying different meds and doses, but nothing worked. I felt awful, and I felt defeated. At one appointment, my endocrinologist said in frustration that this was just the hand I had been dealt and I needed to learn to accept it.

I remember feeling like that was the most unloving thing someone could say. I called him out and said he would never say that to his loved one struggling with everything I was dealing with. Deep inside me, I rejected his statement and knew it was untrue.

With every fiber of my being, I believe, our bodies are intelligently designed, and we are created to thrive and live fully.

I started doing my own research, trying to connect the dots. I spent 17 years as an IT Engineer, so I used my logic-driven analytical mind to devour medical journal after medical journal and study after study.

I experienced firsthand how much conflicting information is out there and how hard it is to figure out how to get better on your own.

So many things worked for other people but never for me. What makes it worse is that there is an entire industry of people looking to make money off people who don’t feel well. I found most of them and spent tens of thousands of dollars desperately trying to get better.

I ended up turning away from Western medicine and turning toward Traditional Chinese Medicine. I shifted my diet to a whole foods diet focusing on meat, vegetables, fruit, nuts, and seeds. I started to learn how to manage my stress and rebalance my lifestyle. I started improving but was not able to get all the way better.

I left my career as an IT Engineer. I went back to school for Holistic Nutrition at the Energetic Health Institute. I obtained my board certification through the NANP. I learned how to do comprehensive testing and get to the cellular level where the dysfunction starts. I was able to rebalance, heal and get my life back. I am no longer struggling with the symptoms that plagued me for many years.

I joined Abundant Hope Nutrition in 2020 as a co-owner. I focus on autoimmune, chronic symptoms/disease, and nutritional oncology. I help people struggling with their health. People experience fatigue, poor sleep, pain, inflammation, digestive issues like IBS, acid reflux, heartburn, cramping and bloating, muscle and joint pain, brain fog, and more. I come alongside those experiencing cancer or trying to heal after treatment. I love working with my clients 1 on 1 in my practice; it’s gratifying. However, I wanted a way to offer hope and healing on a broader platform.

This is why I started this community; it is everything I wish I had in my own healing journey. 

Accurate information, support, inspiration, community, accountability, recipes, coaching, and tools. I remember feeling incredibly frustrated about not knowing what to put into my body and why due to all the conflicting information.

Finding recipes that worked for my goals and were simple with everyday ingredients was also a big struggle. Everything focused on healing was recipes and foods I wouldn’t enjoy eating.

Everything felt restrictive and defeating as I tried to move forward on my health journey.

What seemed to work for other people never worked for me. A community like this would have saved me time, energy, and money. It also would have significantly shortened my timeline of how long it took to recover my health.

 Struggling with your health and wellness is complicated and can feel lonely, but it doesn’t have to.

 In my Uncover Discover Recover Your Health community, you will find the guidance, support, and resources you need to achieve your health and wellness goals.
